"Five Poems" by William Teets “Some wayward detachment tries to change his providence by texting with Satan. Seeks true love—the kind you find spray-painted on overpasses, carved into bark—to modify his heart, heal his Lonely Avenue blues.” www.bloodhoneylit.com/poetry/teets...

The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school.. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, and say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war. And Canadians have responded in kind.

Here's a glimpse of Mama Knows Best by @williamteets.bsky.social. It's a powerful poem about a mother’s blind loyalty and fierce love for her son, even in the face of his missteps. Poetry editing is now complete, and short fiction editing is ongoing! More news coming once all editing is finalised.
Sunday Snippets 
Mama swore she saw a halo above his head 
says it’s her favorite memory of all goddamn time,
and cursed out that old harlot Sally Jenkins 
for saying he stole five dollars from the collection plate
Mama Knows Best by William Teets.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Just a reminder to everyone who voted for trump because you wanted lower prices on shit: You ain't getting it. He admitted it. Said it's too hard. But he has ALREADY enriched himself and his wealthy friends with his and Melania's shit coins. He doesn't give a fuck about you.

Dan Rather is a treasure.
Photo of Dan Rather with quote beside him that reads, “A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump. Let me make this perfectly clear. It’s not about politics. I’ve voted for both parties. It’s about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love. It’s really that simple.”

They should have given the $15Million to rape victims. But ABC and their asshole lawyers showed here that they do not value the people who actually butter their bread - their millions of customers, viewers, and even children who certainly know he's a rapist. No respect for ABC/Disney here.
